People are pirates, creating Cthulhu

"I didn't expect you to come anyway."

The sudden appearance of the old voice startled Tiqi, and he even felt that his heart stopped for a beat at that moment.

He looked in the direction of the sound in horror. Unexpectedly, the most unexpected person appeared in the shadow of the tree.

Uncle Goatee! ?

Even if Weber showed up here, I'm afraid Teach wouldn't be as surprised as seeing Uncle Goatee.

"You... how..."

Originally, Teach wanted to ask him why he was here, but when the goatee uncle approached him, a strong fragrance hit his nose.

He is also a black mist demon! !

Following Tiqi's exclamation, Uncle Goatee's body squirmed, and the slender tentacles couldn't help but twist and stretch out from Uncle Goatee's body towards Tiqi.

Seeing the movements of these tentacles on his body, the goatee uncle frowned, and his skinny hands grabbed the restless tentacles like pulling out leeks, and then exerted force.

Click!

With a crisp sound, the tentacles were all disconnected. The disconnected tentacles in the hands of the goatee uncle seemed to be spasming, and they were thrown far into the depths of the forest with a trembling sound.

The goatee uncle clapped his hands in disgust and rubbed his palms that were not dirty.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Tiqi secretly glanced at the broken roots of the tentacles on Uncle Goatee's body. Unexpectedly, the tentacles that looked dark on the outside and did not resemble the real thing turned out to be white and tender flesh.

It's a pity that Teach only saw it once. When he wanted to see the details of the section clearly, a ball of black mist covered the broken section of the tentacles. It didn't take long for the black mist to subside, and the tentacles on the goatee uncle's body also disappeared. All disappeared.

"Don't worry, I pose no threat to you."

Seemingly seeing Teach's wariness towards him, Uncle Goatee made his position clear as soon as he opened his mouth. Then he organized his words a little and continued: "It seems that you should have met with Weber. He gave you a drink." Got the black mist potion?"

"how do you know?"

"If it weren't for the black mist potion, you would be like those guys by now."

The goatee uncle smiled kindly and pointed to the row of skeletons strung on wooden sticks behind Teach.

"Why are all those bones strung together?"

"Every once in a while, there will be some big birds in the nothingness outside that will rush into this forest to hunt for food. Although Gan Fore can easily deal with these big birds, we people can't."

"And it seems that these big birds can't be killed no matter how hard they are. After killing one, two more will appear. Later, Gan Fore couldn't bear the trouble and kept looking for ways to restrain these big birds. Finally, he discovered that these big birds seemed Treating the area surrounded by skeletons as an inviolable territory has made the place feel a little calmer.”

"So it is."

"By the way, that day you said that people in the village disappeared one after another. What happened next?"

"later?"

The goatee uncle was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said: "Then I was rescued by Weber. His tribe seemed to have all experienced the same thing as the townspeople. Then Weber took me to the holy place they have guarded for generations. , Shantara, and then I became like this."

"You are like this too!?"

Teach suddenly realized that this was not the first time that Weber had done such a thing.

The methods he used on the goatee uncle were almost the same as those he used on himself.

"Then you also drank the black mist potion?"

Uncle Goatee seemed to have mentioned the black mist potion just now, but he didn't think of it for a moment and then put it down. However, Uncle Goatee's current situation has to worry Tiqi.

Will his fate in the future be more like his?

"Drinking, but my reaction is not very good, and occasionally I lose control of my ability. You should have seen it just now, those tentacles are a sign of losing control."

"Black Mist Demon..."

Teach remembered that Weber once said to comfort him that this monster was transformed by Gan Fore, but all the characteristics of the goatee uncle were the same as the black mist monster he had seen.

Could it be that the Black Mist Demon deliberately disguised himself like this to deceive himself?

Tiqi thought about Goss before. The disguise of the black mist demon was almost perfect. If the two of them had not been together for a relatively long time, Tiqi might have really fallen for it.

Even so, he managed to escape in the end with the help of Weber's break.

But having said that, even if the goatee uncle might be a black mist demon in disguise, how can I tell the difference?

Originally, that unique scent was the best way to identify the Black Mist Demon.

However, based on what Uncle Goatbeard described, it is possible that he can exude this smell as a human being.

Pity!

You should have learned more about the Black Mist Demon from Weber before. That guy seemed to be quite familiar with the Black Mist Demon.

At this time, Teach even missed Weber a little.

At the moment, there is no better way. Teach can only talk to the uncle with the goatee about hypocrisy and snakes. After all, apart from Weber, the uncle with the goatee knows the most.

Even if the goatee uncle is really a black mist demon in disguise, it is definitely not a good thing for him to fall out with him at this time in a place like this.

"You know how we're supposed to get out of here?"

The goatee uncle sighed and shook his head: "Leave? It's impossible. Once you get in, you can never get out again."

"why?"

"Actually, this is Gan Fore's real kingdom of God! No one can leave here except with his personal permission."

"This is actually Gan Fore's Kingdom of God!?"

Teach could never associate such a desolate and gloomy place with words like Kingdom of God. Speaking of Kingdom of God, he even felt that the small town on the sea of ​​clouds was more worthy of its name.

After a moment of silence, the goatee uncle waited for Tikki to digest the news while pulling out the little tentacles that came out of his body from time to time.

"Why are you here?"

This is a question that Tiqi has wanted to ask for a long time, but he was frightened by the scent of the goatee uncle before and could not ask it. Now that the more urgent questions have been asked, Tiqi thought of what he originally wanted to ask. asked this question.

"I?"

The goatee uncle was startled, then showed a very kind smile, and replied very naturally: "Of course it is because of God's arrangement!"

"Gan Fore's arrangement!?"

Uncle Goatee's answer was like a basin of cold water in the cold winter, which poured down Tikki's heart.
